T 0 alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARGUERIETTA BENSON RoBiNsoN, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigarette and Cigar Holders, of which the following is a. specification.

My invention relates to holders for clgarettes and cigars, and has for its object to provide a simple means of ejecting the c1ga rette or cigar end.

. Referring to the accompanying drawing,

Fig. 1 represents the cigarette holder in plan, 7

Fig. 2 the same view, except that part 15 insection, and g t Fig. 3 represents an end View looking towards the larger end of the holder, and

Fig.4 represents a modified construction.

Like numerals refer to like parts in all the views.

According to my present invention, I pro; vicle aholder substantially as shown in Fig. l with a chain 1 which passes through a hole 2 provided in the bell-end of the holder 3. The chain may be made practically endless but is so arranged that it is depressed, as shown in Fig. 2 when the cigarette is inserted. hen it is desired to eject the cigarette end, the chain is pressedtowards the small end of the holder, with the thumb or one finger, thereby straightening the chain on the inside 4- of the bell-mouth, which pushes the cigarette end in the direction. of the arrow.

' In the modified construction shown in F igml, the chain is replaced by a flexible cord 5.

The cord may however, be made of cotton or of non e arrable material or it may be a metallic flexible wire or. chain.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United. States of America is 1. A cigar or cigarette holder, comprising a tubular holder having a mouth-piece at.

one end and a recess at the opposite end and a flexible member extending across said recess so as to engage the end of the article placed therein, said flexible member being drawn taut by manual manipulation to eject the article.

2. A cigar or cigarette holder comprising a tubular holder having a mouth piece at one end and a recess at the opposite end, holes in said holder adjacent said recess, a flexible member extending diametrically across said recess and through said holes and adapted to engage the end of the article placed in said recess, the ends of the flexible member being connected together to form a loop' to enable the article to be ejected by'drawing saidmember taut by manual manipula tion. V

3. A cigar or cigarette holder comprising a tubular holder having a mouth piece at one end and a recess at the opposite end, a pair of holes in the walls of said recess arranged diametricallyopposite to one another,

a flexible chain passing through said holes and means on said chain for drawing the same taut by manual manipulationto eject the article placedin said recess.
